Feature Adelaide Aesthetic Words by Leanne Amodeo Leanne is a content director, media consultant and educator.
There’s no denying Melbourne and Sydney are two of the country’s largest creative hubs, although that’s not to say they’re the only ones. The number of practitioners based outside Melbourne and Sydney has surged exponentially in the last few years and in places like Adelaide, a new crop of talent joins the industry’s more established players in reinvigorating the national design landscape. In the meantime, the suggestion furniture designers are producing good work despite hailing from the City of Churches has officially become an outdated narrative. As one of the country’s finest and most highly regarded, Khai Liew lives and works in Adelaide, after relocating from Malaysia when he was 18 years old. Geography certainly wasn’t a consideration when White Rabbit Gallery owner, Sydney-based art collector Judith Neilson recently commissioned him to fit out her new home, the award-winning Indigo Slam, in the inner-Sydney suburb of Chippendale (touted as the city’s answer to New York’s Chelsea district). Liew, who began his career as a furniture conservator and has no formal design training, was simply the only designer she trusted to furnish her entire Chippendale abode (designed by Smart Design Studio), and it took him and a team of skilled craftspeople two years to complete the arguably unprecedented, ambitious project. The result is a bespoke collection of exquisitely detailed furniture, lighting and rugs that perfectly complements the building’s impressive architecture. Adelaide has long had a reputation for producing wellcrafted furniture and JamFactory has in a large part been responsible for nurturing this tradition. Since the formal opening of a Furniture Studio within its Morphett Street facility in 1992, the organisation has trained over 50 furniture designers as part of its Associate Program. Under the tutelage of current Creative Director Jon Goulder, the studio has increased private commissions, regularly manufactures for JamFactory’s popular product range and has graduated a number of highly successful Associates, amongst them Rhys Cooper and Nicholas Fuller. Both of these designers have achieved much since completing their Associateship in 2015, including Cooper’s launch of three new products at Melbourne’s trade event Denfair <strong>2017</strong>, where Fuller was also named Best Emerging Designer. Their highly refined pieces have that signature elegant form and overall clean, minimalist appearance characteristic of the ‘Adelaide Aesthetic’.
